District Court, N.D. Mississippi October 6, 1998, 1:98CV190-D-D, 1:98CV216-D-D (Prestage Farms v. Bd. of Supervisors of Noxubee Co.)

OPINION

DAVIDSON, District Judge.

Since 1985, concentrated swine feeding operations have been regulated by the Mississippi Department of Environmental Quality through the Mississippi Commission on Environmental Quality. Miss.Code Ann. § 49-17-29 basically requires anyone involved in an activity that pollutes the air or water to get a permit from the Mississippi Environmental Quality Permit Board.
